5 EYEWITNESS NEWS Presents: Minnesota in Pakistan

Minnesota know-how is making a difference in a country few of us will ever visit: Pakistan.

Over the past two years, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has been proud to host four Pakistani journalists in our newsroom, each for about three weeks at a time.

And we've found lots of other Minnesota ties to Pakistan, too.

So in January 2013, reporter Mark Albert went to the south Asian country to find more Twin Cities connections, as part of a journalism exchange program with the International Center for Journalists, sponsored and funded by the US State Department.

Watch a narrated slideshow with our Mark Albert, who joined six other US journalists on a two-week visit to Pakistan.
